This book was beautiful and heartbreaking all at once! It’s a wild ride, going back with a lot of flashbacks through history, but the way it’s told is beautifully done, and I really enjoyed it. (Even if it took me a while to read because it’s quite chunky.) I say through history, because our mainContinue reading “Book Review: The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E Schwab”

I’ve been using TikTok as a writer for over a year now, and I love finding great author and reader friendsContinue reading “TikTok As A Marketing Tool For Authors”
Book Review: Crier’s War by Nina Varela
Wow, what a brilliant ride this book was. I usually get a bit nervous when I read books with a similar concept to my own, but as soon as I started reading this, I was hooked. The world-building is quite hard to understand at first, I found, but when you have taken in the lengthyContinue reading “Book Review: Crier’s War by Nina Varela”
Holding Myself Accountable – New Content Schedules!
We all have to do it sometimes, right? I don’t know about you, but I find it very difficult to motivate myself to create content if I don’t have a schedule in my weekly planner.

Writing & Publishing – The Indie Route & My Personal Experience So Far
Indie publishing is becoming a huge thing nowadays, but honestly, it was always something I swore against. I have spent years querying my various YA fantasy novels, and although I’ve had some lovely feedback from different industry professionals, it hasn’t worked out that way for me. I attended a YALC event with a writer friendContinue reading “Writing & Publishing – The Indie Route & My Personal Experience So Far”

Book Review: “Girl, Serpent, Thorn” by Melissa Bashardoust
I have to admit, the gorgeous cover for this book was what gripped me and made me pick it up. (I suppose that’s what the cover is meant to do though, right?) But the immersive world-building, fast-paced plot and badass main character was what kept me in the book and made me want to keepContinue reading “Book Review: “Girl, Serpent, Thorn” by Melissa Bashardoust”

Book Review: “Torn” by Jasmine Watson
I’ve been friends with the author on TikTok for a while now, and thought the cover and premise of her debut novel were really interesting. So I got stuck in, and I enjoyed it. I found it quite hard to get through and a little slow in terms of the pacing at times, but thisContinue reading “Book Review: “Torn” by Jasmine Watson”
